HD content on Dn

with many posts about HD content and where it's at, I thought I would post a few answers---
119--slim to no HD
110--quite a bit of HD content but moving many channels around and clearing some of the TP's for possible future HD additions
61.5/129---these are almost identical except for the spot beams..129 covers the west coast and 61.5 covers the east coast..quite a bit of HD content here also especially many HD local markets.

there have been over 250 channel changes since last week..many channels on 110 and 61.5 were moved to 77, which is currently testing only and not available to subscribers yet i believe. people say that DN is moving content to 77 to free up TP's on 110/61.5/129 to add more HD content and more HD locals..i think we are at the threshold of HD with DN in a race with Dave to see who can get the most HD out and how fast..if you have 110 then you have some good HD..beyond that..i'd wait a bit before throwing up a wing dish for 61.5 or 129 until we see how 77 plays into the big HD picture..

And there are only minor differences between 61.5 and 129...61.5 was designed to service people on the eastern half of the u.s. and 129 was designed to service people on the western half of the u.s. The regular channels are almost identical but the local channels are very different..so if you live in calif, you're not going to pick up 61.5 and if you live in georgia, you're not going to pick up 129..
